City cruised to victory at the Etihad Stadium, with a Stevan Jovetic brace and further strike from substitute Sergio Aguero sealing the points.
The Serbian grabbed his first two Premier League goals either side of half-time to set the tone for a dominant victory.

Jovetic stole in on a loose ball before firing between the legs of Simon Mignolet for the game’s opening goal, before tucking home Samir Nasri’s cutback before the hour after some neat linkup play.
Number three would follow with 20 to play, as Aguero finished at Mignolet’s post having been sent through by Jesus Navas.
And although an unfortunate Pablo Zabaleta own goal had the visitors on the scoresheet, Manuel Pellegrini’s side saw out the victory to maintain our 100% start to the campaign.
